Todo Show Package 
Finds all TODO, FIXME, CHANGED, XXX, IDEA, HACK, NOTE, REVIEW comments in your project and shows them in a nice overview list.
Open todo list using command palette Todo Show: Find In Workspace, Todo Show: Find In Project or Todo Show: Find In Open Files. Keyboard shortcuts CTRL + SHIFT + T on Mac OSX or ALT + SHIFT + T on Windows and Linux.
Install with apm install todo-show or use Install Packages from Atom Settings.
Search Scopes
Four different scopes are available to narrow down your search for todos. Change scope using the button at the top of the todo tab or use the corresponding command.
- Workspace: Searches all open projects.
- Project: Searches active project (a project is marked as active when you open a file it contains).
- Open Files: Searches currently open files.
- Active File: Searches last active file only.

Regular Expression Search
The regexes in findTheseRegexes are used for searching the workspace for todo matches. They are configurable to match the users specific needs.
Default regex string: '/\\b(${TODOS})[:;.,]?\\d*($|\\s.*$|\\(.*$)/g'
\bstart at word boundary${TODOS}todo type match (is replaced withfindTheseTodos)[:;.,]?optional separator after type\d*optional digits for supporting imdone sorting$to end todos without additional text (newline)- Or
\s.*$to match the todo text with a non-optional space in front - Or an immediate parentheses,
\(.*$, to support Google style guide IDs - Because Atom config only accepts strings all
\characters are also escaped
Todos can be tagged using hashtag (e.g. TODO: do this #object #profile), which is presented in the tags column.
To extend the default todo types and search regex, the existing config needs to be copied into your config.cson. See show-todo.coffee for current defaults.
